The Diploma for Graduates is a flexible and deservedly popular programme.
It is a one-year course (longer, part-time) that enables graduates to change academic direction. For instance, someone with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) who wanted to do an MA in Classics could do a Dip Grad year of 300- and 400-level Classics papers as a bridging course.
Classics endorsements
For postgraduate study in Classics, one is expected to have at least 3 semesters worth of training in Latin or Greek at MA level and at least 5 semesters in Latin or Greek at PhD level. Therefore, we recommend that students seeking to enter postgraduate study in Classics to have begun study on one or, preferably, both languages.
Tailor-made to suit the individual student's needs, the Dip Grad consists of 120 points, of which 72 must be at 300- or 400-level.
